How to create a GtkPixbuf from a stock item llike (new_from_stock)? - gtk

I want to get a stock item to use it in a treeview but I can't get it as a pixbuf directly as there is no new_from_stock method for pixbufs!!

say you want to get a pixbuf from stock_item.
There are 2 ways:
First (easy):
pixbuf = gtk_widget_render_icon ( widget, stock_item, size )
Second (hard):
You need to look for it in the list of default icon factories:
icon_set = gtk_style_lookup_icon_set ( style, stock_item )
OR:
icon_set = gtk_icon_factory_lookup_default ( $stock_item )
then check available sizes with get_sizes.
Check if the size you want is available or get the largest size which will be the last in the returned list.
Then you need to render it to get the pixbuf:
pixbuf = gtk_icon_set_render_icon ( icon_set, style, direction, state, size, widget )
Then scale it to whatever size you want using:
gdk_pixbuf_scale_simple ( pixbuf, width, height, GdkInterpType )
Hope you got it

Are you aware of the icon-name property in GtkCellRendererPixbuf? That should solve the problem of showing a stock icon in a treeview.

A slightly easier (and more future-proof) version of ophidion's answer is to do the following:
#define ICON_NAME "go-next"
#define ICON_SIZE 96 /* pixels */
GError *error = NULL;
GtkIconTheme *icon_theme = gtk_icon_theme_get_default();
GdkPixbuf *pixbuf = gtk_icon_theme_load_icon(icon_theme, ICON_NAME, ICON_SIZE,
GTK_ICON_LOOKUP_USE_BUILTIN, &error);
Assuming you don't get an error, you can then put the resulting GdkPixbuf in a treemodel, or use it with a GtkButton, or whatever else you'd like to do with it.
As others have pointed out, GTK stock items are likely to be deprecated, so you should use names according to the Icon Naming Spec instead if you want to be future proof. See this Google Docs spreadsheet for the equivalent icon spec names for GTK stock items.

You can use gtk_image_new_from_stock(), then get the raw pixbuf using gtk_image_get_pixbuf().
But check out #jku's answer first, that sounds like the proper solution. I just wanted to add how you'd do it in any other context.

Unmerge and Assign Values Only Vertically or Horizontally Openpyxl

Using the answer provided by aka863 here: How to split merged Excel cells with Python?
I can unmerge, fill values and copy the styling. My questions is how to make the value assigning/filling process configurable.
I want the user to be able to choose whether the values will be filled vertically/horizontally.
I have tried changing the last loop where we assign the top_left_cell_values to unmerged cells. However I couldn't find a way to make it horizontal/vertical configurable. (I'm planning to use radio buttons and tkinter for this)
Its certainly possible to have the code de-merge cells and fill cells in whichever direction, vertically or horizontally regardless of which way the merge was originally. Or not fill at all, so only the top left cell retains the 'value' of the previously merged cells, which is default on unmerge.
Changing the direction of the fill requires some change and re-calculation on the max row and column values in the iter_rows loop, but is simple enough.
However it seems in your last comment you just want to give the user the option to fill or not fill on horizontal merges. In that case you just need to ask the question, and then run the iter_rows loop only if the response is yes.
The code sample below is based on the answer referenced question.
I'm assuming only single line horizontal merges since you dont mention what if anything should be done with vertical merges in the comment.
The code does initially check and indicate the merge direction either vertically or horizontally so it can be included take some action if a merge is vertical.
On code run after displaying the range and direction of the merge, the question is asked to fill, yes or no. If yes the cells are de-merged and all cells filled with the top left cell value using the iter_rows loop. If answer no then the cells are just de-merged.
from openpyxl import load_workbook
from openpyxl.utils.cell import range_boundaries
wb = load_workbook(filename='foo.xlsx')
st = wb['Sheet1']
mcr_coord_list = [mcr.coord for mcr in st.merged_cells.ranges]
direction_dict = {'v': 'vertical', 'h': 'horizontal'}
for mcr in mcr_coord_list:
print('---------------------------------------------------\n')
merge_direction = ''
min_col, min_row, max_col, max_row = range_boundaries(mcr)
top_left_cell_value = st.cell(row=min_row, column=min_col).value
if min_col == max_col:
merge_direction = 'v'
elif min_row == max_row:
merge_direction = 'h'
print(f"The cell range {mcr} is merged {direction_dict[merge_direction]}ly with the data '{top_left_cell_value}'")
while True:
demerge_fill = input('Do you want the de-merge to fill all cells(y|n)? ')
if demerge_fill.lower() in ["y", "n"]:
break
else:
print('Invalid response')
st.unmerge_cells(mcr)
if demerge_fill == 'y':
for row in st.iter_rows(min_col=min_col, min_row=min_row, max_col=max_col, max_row=max_row):
for cell in row:
cell.value = top_left_cell_value
else:
print(f"Only the top left cell {mcr.split(':')[0]} will contain the data!")
wb.save('merged_tmp.xlsx')

Document generator, different margins for certain pages

I am creating a document using MATLAB's mlreportgen.dom.*;
I would like to be able to set the first and last page of a document to have no margins. This way I can get images to fit right across the page.
I am having difficulties with this, see example code
import mlreportgen.dom.*;
d = Document('myreport', 'pdf');
open(d);
currentLayout = d.CurrentPageLayout;
pdfheader = PDFPageHeader();
p = Paragraph('Sample Traffic Data in Austin');
p.Style = [p.Style, {HAlign('left'), Bold(true), FontSize('12pt')}];
append(pdfheader, p);
currentLayout.PageHeaders = pdfheader;
currentLayout.PageMargins.Gutter = '0.0in';
currentLayout.PageMargins.Left = '0.0in';
currentLayout.PageMargins.Right = '0.0in';
close(d);
rptview(d.OutputPath);
So far, I have naively tried to add a page break and redefine margins with no success. It appears to use the margins that come last in the document.

ag-Grid: extend rows till right edge if columns don't occupy full width

In ag-Grid, if the columns occupy a smaller space than the width of the grid, a blank hole appears on the right of the last column. Please see below (example taken from ag-Grid docs):
The UX designers on my team don't like that. They would like to see the rows extended all the way to the right to balance out the look. Is this possible to do with ag-Grid?
Edit: We don't want to use the sizeColumnsToFit option, because on large monitors it produces very wide columns and the grid becomes unreadable. We want to use the autoSize option to compact the columns and fill the hole on the RHS with blank stripes as suggested above.
Yes it is possible. You can call the sizeColumnsToFit function on the ag-Grid api which will fill out the width of the table with the columns.
Take a look at documentation.
Here is a plunker example.
EDIT
Use the property suppressSizeToFit and set it to true to when you call sizeColumnsToFit, it won't have an affect. Apply this property to the defaultColDef and set it to false for the last column. This was, when you call sizeColumnsToFit, only the last column will be set to full width. See the updated plunker above.
this is how i do it:
/**
* if there is "dead space" present on the grid, the columns will be auto sized to fill the gap
* #param gridApi
* #param columnApi
*/
resizeColumnsToFit(gridApi: GridApi, columnApi: ColumnApi, allowShrink = false) {
if (allowShrink) {
gridApi.sizeColumnsToFit();
} else {
const gridBodyWidth = document.getElementsByClassName("ag-root-wrapper")[0].clientWidth; // todo: use grid's id instead of [0] to allow multiple grids on a page
const allColumnsWidth = columnApi.getAllDisplayedColumns().map(c => c.getActualWidth()).reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0);
if (gridBodyWidth > allColumnsWidth) {
gridApi.sizeColumnsToFit();
}
}
}
This method will size columns to fit only when there is "dead" space on the right. Optionaly set allowShrink to true to force resizing even if there is no dead space
I had the same situation and resolved with the following css override:
.ag-center-cols-container {
width: 100% !important;
}
One possible option I've been playing with is adding a fake column at the end to fill the remaining space. To do so, you just need to add a column with options similar to the following to the end of your list of columns:
{
flex: 1,
headerName: '',
}
See this plunker forked from #ViqMontana's example above.
It's not a perfect solution, but wanted to mention it here in case it helps.
This works like Craig Weston's answer but without the need for !important:
.ag-center-cols-container {
min-width: 100%;
}

How to align a label versus its content?

I have a label (e.g. "A list of stuff") and some content (e.g. an actual list). When I add all of this to a PDF, I get:
A list of stuff: test A, test B, coconut, coconut, watermelons, apple, oranges, many more
fruites, carshow, monstertrucks thing
I want to change this so that the content is aligned like this:
A list of stuff: test A, test B, coconut, coconut, watermelons, apple, oranges, many more
fruites, carshow, monstertrucks thing, everything is startting on the
same point in the line now
In other words: I want the content to be aligned so that it every line starts at the same X position, no matter how many items are added to the list.
There are many different ways to achieve what you want: Take a look at the following screen shot:
This PDF was created using the IndentationOptions example.
In the first option, we use a List with the label ("A list of stuff: ") as the list symbol:
List list = new List();
list.setListSymbol(new Chunk(LABEL));
list.add(CONTENT);
document.add(list);
document.add(Chunk.NEWLINE);
In the second option, we use a paragraph of which we use the width of the LABEL as indentation, but we change the indentation of the first line to compensate for that indentation.
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.createFont();
Paragraph p = new Paragraph(LABEL + CONTENT, new Font(bf, 12));
float indentation = bf.getWidthPoint(LABEL, 12);
p.setIndentationLeft(indentation);
p.setFirstLineIndent(-indentation);
document.add(p);
document.add(Chunk.NEWLINE);
In the third option, we use a table with columns for which we define an absolute width. We use the previously calculated width for the first column, but we add 4, because the default padding (left and right) of a cell equals 2. (Obviously, you can change this padding.)
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(2);
table.getDefaultCell().setBorder(Rectangle.NO_BORDER);
table.setTotalWidth(new float[]{indentation + 4, 519 - indentation});
table.setLockedWidth(true);
table.addCell(LABEL);
table.addCell(CONTENT);
document.add(table);
There may be other ways to achieve the same result, and you can always tweak the above options. It's up to you to decide which option fits best in your case.

Add rectangle as inline-element with iText

How do I add a rectangle (or other graphical elements) as inline-elements to an iText PDF?
Example code of what I'm trying to achieve:
foreach (Row r in entrylist)
{
p = new Paragraph();
p.IndentationLeft = 10;
p.SpacingBefore = 10;
p.SpacingAfter = 10;
p.Add(new Rectangle(0, 0, 10, 10)); <<<<<<<<< THAT ONE FAILS
p.Add(new Paragraph(r.GetString("caption"), tahoma12b));
p.Add(new Paragraph(r.GetString("description"), tahoma12));
((Paragraph)p[1]).IndentationLeft = 10;
doc.Add(p);
}
It's something like a column of text-blocks, of which each of them have (only a printed) checkbox.
I've tried various things with DirectContent, but it requires me to provide absolute X and Y values. Which I simply don't have. The elements should be printed at the current position, wherever that may be.
Any clues?
You need a Chunk for which you've defined a generic tag. For instance, in this example listing a number of movies, a snippet of pellicule is drawn around the year a movie was produced and an ellipse was drawn in the background of the link to IMDB.
If you look at the MovieYears example, you'll find out how to use the PdfPageEvent interface and its onGenericTag() method. You're right that you can't add a Rectangle to a Paragraph (IMHO that wouldn't make much sense). As you indicate, you need to draw the rectangle to the direct content, and you get the coordinates of a Chunk by using the setGenericTag() method. As soon as the Chunk is drawn on the page, its coordinates will be passed to the onGenericTag() method.
